Halifax and District

Showing a family member round the area yesterday. On a visit to Dean Clough a pair of dippers were seen in the Hebble beck within 50 yards of the front door of the Viaduct cafe. Later driving on the Cold Edge road to visit the windmills a wheatear was standing on the wall and a common sandpiper was at the bottom of a fence looking for food.
